On the recordFebruary 10, 1995
The gentleman and I had an interesting conversation last week on the family friendly agenda, and he told me that he had a date last Friday with his lovely wife Susan. I hope the gentleman made that date and had a great time, and I hope that he can give the House assurances, concrete assurances on Tuesday night that we will be out by a time certain, such as 7, so that he can enjoy some time with Susan once again and all of us can enjoy some time with our loved ones. We have a resolution that we put forward: Roses are red, Violets are blue, If we're not home by 7, We're in deep stew. We would encourage the gentleman to give us a more definite time on Tuesday night.
